We had so much fun designing the 2022 Reading Challenge! You'll notice that in this year's challenge, there are several challenges submitted by our Readers. They include some thought-provoking challenges, such as "A book that makes you ask why?" as well as some delightfully distinctive challenges, such as "A book with a lobster on the cover." We've also included perennial favorites and some challenges we hope will stretch your reading habits while still bringing you joy. Although all of these attributes could be ascribed to a single book, each book may only be used to satisfy a single challenge. We think this year's challenges are a good mix between the general (so you can include many of the books you would have read anyway) and the specific (so you can read some books you might never have chosen otherwise). Our library sponsors this challenge for two very important reasons: to promote literacy in our community and to have fun doing it. If these goals float your boat, we hope you'll join us on this literary voyage! If you have an idea for a challenge category, let us know! Email ashereference@arlibrary.org with the subject line: Reading Challenge Idea.
